Farid Khider - 12 Rounds Feat Tunisiano

Farid Khider is a savate fighter who also fights in Muay Thai. He's ought one time in K-1 Max for a victory iirc. I remembered he was qite impressive in his K-1 Max. Totally dominating the fighter with a very unique style of fighting.

Savate is a French kickboxing style where they wear hard pointed shoes to fight. In Savate you are only allowed to kick with the instep/ shoes. Kicking or shin checking is illegal. There are no thai style clinch allowed, no knees, no elbows and no catching kicks. Due to the limitations, savateurs as savate stylist are called tend to have good movement, footwork and combinations.

Quite afew savateurs have crossed over to Muay Thai with good success like Fraid Khider here,. You can always tell them by their movement and striking. I enjoyed watching his K-1 match. It's surprising he hasn't fought again in K-1 knowing the fact he has the skills and the looks (very important in K-1 Max!).
